About the Program

The Bachelor of Music in Music and Worship provides the student with a broad perspective in the field of music ministry and consists of academic preparation in music, Christian ministry, and practical theology. Graduates are given the tools needed to minister effectively in an ever-changing music ministry environment, and they are prepared for more specialized graduate study in music or Christian ministry. Coursework addresses congregational song, corporate worship, music ministry administration, worship technology, practical theology, music, worship and culture, and worship design.

Graduates with a degree in music and worship assume positions in local churches as musicians, music directors, worship leaders and administrators, in Christian schools as teachers and administrators, and in local or global church and parachurch organizations as leaders and staff members.
